Reader’s Question:

If I have a license in Georgia and received a ticket in the state of VA, can the points be accessed on my Georgia license?

Although Georgia is not part of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which VA is a part of Georgia still has agreements with other states to share ticket information and receive in information on its licensed motorists infractions out of state.

According to the GA Department of Driver Services (DDS) points could be accessed to your GA driving record after a infraction of a Virginia traffic ticket since they will be informed by the Virginia courts or see it when they connect to the National Registry.

So if you are convicted of the VA traffic ticket it will go on your GA driving record and points could have assigned to it. It will likely depend upon if the offense is points worthy in Georgia or not. If it is an infraction that normally is assigned points in GA then it will most likely be assigned points even the violation occurred out of state.
